The Facts: The Bills select Georgia RB Cook with the 63rd pick overall.
Diehards Line:
A change-of-pace runner with vision and flow but a lack of functional play strength, James is the younger brother of Vikings running back Dalvin Cook. Like Dalvin, James has one-cut talent and ability to stack cuts seamlessly through the second level. However, he is missing his big brother's build, contact balance and toughness between the tackles, which will surely cap expectations and asks from an NFL club. His slashing style fits with outside zone and toss plays. He can also be used as a mismatch option as a pass-catcher. Cook has big-play ability but is unlikely to see his carry count get very high. Expect him to work in a time share with Devin Singletary with the Bills.
